About This Manual

This manual provides board-level information and detailed ASIC information, including register bit descriptions, for the MVME167PA- xxSE and MVME177PA-xxSE series of VME single-board computers, known collectively as the ‘‘MVME1X7P’’.

The “Petra” chip that distinguishes MVME167P and MVME177P single- board computers is an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) used on various Motorola VME boards which combines a variety of functions previously implemented in other ASICs (among them the MC2 chip, the IP2 chip, and the MCECC chip) in a single ASIC. On the MVME1X7P, the “Petra” chip replaces the MCECC ASIC. As of the publication date, the information presented in this manual applies to the following MVME1X7P models:
